Anthology: 2-CD Set
CD
(Fania Codigo 507141),
Released 2012;
Editor's Pick:
Special 2-CD set that include the best of Joe Cuba including "Hey Joe, Hey Joe," "Bang! Bang!," "El Pito (I'll Never Go Back To Georgia)," "Ariñañara," "A Las Seis," "To Be With You," "Hecho Y Derecho" and many, many other tracks. The Joe Cuba Sextet recorded countless hits across the decades, each embodying the soul of Spanish Harlem and capturing the sounds of the first generation of New York Puerto Ricans. With hustler instincts, Joe and his band—originally consisting of Jimmy Sabater on timbales and vocals, Tommy Berrios on vibes, Nick Jiménez on piano, Roy Rosa on bass (replaced early on by Jules Cordero), and Willie Torres on vocals—reinvented the Latin sound several times over. There’s little doubt that salsa owes its swagger and swing to Joe Cuba. Joe’s pride for his neighborhood spilled over into his playing, made his sound contagious, and birthed a movement reflective of Spanish Harlem’s vibrant soul... Highly Recommended.
